another pet portrait

This is a commissioned portrait from earlier this month. It's been crazy busy here! I'm working on illustrations for another new book and commissions for other clients too...more posts coming soon! Please click on the rescues below and donate or help some of these poor animals with new homes! You don't have to have a portrait done in order to donate or help these guys get a good home! But if you do order work from me or prints from my store, I'll donate a portion of the price! It's all for a great cause!

Latest Portrait Commission

Here's my latest completed portrait commission...

I've also just completed (as of today) the illustrations for the latest Harp Mouse book written by Diane E Dunn and they are off to the publisher tomorrow morning! The Enchanted Tree of Crooked Lake children's book written by Rachel Longhurst (illustrated by me) is on the press today! Everything will be ready (unless the sky falls) for Milford Memories in August. These fabulous authors will be at my booth signing their children's books along with me. Three days of unmitigated fun in the sun, lots of stuff to do, see, gawk at, friends to play and shop with from booth to booth and to eat and drink with in the beer tents.

Come see me there!
